Enter database info, then blank page

I get the same thing even after re-uploading the install folder and trying two different browsers.

This bug still exists for version 4.0.27 of MYSQL.

Inside inc/db_mysql.php

Code:

        if($success && $this->db_encoding)
        {
            $this->query("SET NAMES '{$this->db_encoding}'");
            if($write_success && count($this->connections) > 1)
            {
                $this->write_query("SET NAMES '{$this->db_encoding}'");
            }
        }

The SET NAMES doesn't work and neither does "SET CHARACTER SET".
